Default SC / GS question.

Im bidding on some wheels, for my sc300 that came off this guys GS. He claims the bolt pattern is 5x100. Mine is 5x114.3 Is that correct? I thought GS wheels will fit on a SC.

GS has 5x114.3 bolt pattern. sounds like an ebay scam or the guy doesn't know what he's talking about...

Well, I just bought them. He says theyre universal five lug. I hope he just got the lug sizes confuzed. Here someone look at them, and tell me your opinion.

The seller needs an English lesson in the worst way

...and "universal" translates to "too many lug holes"....

Well,

I just heard from the seller, and he said "money back gauranteed". So.....

I think theyre pretty sharp. For $625 shipped, especially.

money back guarnanteed? good luck with that.... especially on eBay. trust me , i know.

you must be pretty desperate to settle for those. I'd get some supra TT rims for $400-$500 with tires that will look better than those. You should never settle.

i don't think it's that. i think it's the way he advertised them. Well.... maybe the design too. But i wouldn't buy from a person on eBay.

I personally think those wheels are booty. I never really liked the niche Shocking Shocks. Are they even still in business. I just don't like the style. But ummmm dude said they would fit a Maxima..........

I think the wheels look okay. I wouldn't have bought them but I've seen worse on our car. Good luck with them.

Thanks for the comments.

I personnaly like the style, and the size is just what I was looking for. Plus, they fell right into my price range.

I see alot of the same style (mesh), over and over, and considered getting some until I saw so many. Also, Im glad not everyone likes them. Maybe that means I dont have to worry about them getting stolen! ....LOL

Ill post pics, after theyre installed, and polished.
